A Model fiction when the viewer stops looking

when the viewer stops looking at the painting

A timely celebration of British design legend Sir Paul Smith and his one-of-a-kind creativity

Particularly in his exploration of introducing imperfections

and his analysis of the photograph

A Model fiction when the viewer stops lookingThis book, A Model, parallels the exhibition A Model at Mudam Luxembourg Muse dArt Moderne Grand Duc Jean. The museums director Bettina Steinbrgge conceived this exhibition as a conversation with the ever evolving contemporary art museum. This publication, with a sweeping essay about the roles museums can take, in theory, in practice and in use, enacts how Steinbrgge engages the artists in the exhibition to sit with this shifting idea.
